In addition to legal work with survivors, she has volunteered at a shelter for battered women and served as a "first responder" advocate for sexual assault survivors. Professor Myers’s pro bono work includes individual client representation, training attorneys in family law and representing survivors of trauma, and serving on the board of a non-profit organization that serves survivors of gender-based violence. She received her J.D. with honors from the University of Michigan.
